With maturity comes clarity, and the choice between public, private or hybrid cloud deployments is a prime example. According to a recent IDG Research Survey, private
and hybrid cloud adoption is gaining strength at organizations of all sizes, and has the power to serve as a competitive advantage. However IT leaders must address certain barriers to fulfilling the promise of a private or hybrid cloud initiative.

"Infrastructure and operations leaders often struggle to understand the role of cloud computing and to develop strategies that exploit its potential. I&O leaders should complete the prerequisites before making the technology decisions required for successful, service-centered cloud computing strategies.
Read the Gartner report to learn more about key recommendations:
Identify the cloud-computing-related IT services you will offer or procure.
Document the internal processes that will be affected by the identified cloud services.
Map applications and workloads to the associated cloud services."

Software-as-a-service (SaaS) enterprise resource planning (ERP) is accelerating as a mainstream delivery model to help companies gain flexibility and leverage modern cloud technologies.

We look at these use cases and introduce SysTrack - a tool that provides recommendations on an optimal Windows 10 deployment approach your organizations should take.

According to recent ESG research, 70% of IT respondents indicated they plan to invest in HCI over the next 24 months. IT planners are increasingly turning toward HyperConverged Infrastructure (HCI) solutions to simplify and speed up infrastructure deployments, ease day-to-day operational management, reduce costs, and increase IT speed and agility.
HCI consists of a nodal-based architecture whereby all the required virtualized compute, storage, and networking assets are self-contained inside individual nodes. These nodes are, in effect, discrete virtualized computing resources “in a box.” However, they are typically grouped together to provide resiliency, high performance, and flexible resource pooling. And since HCI appliances can scale out to large configurations over time, these systems can provide businesses with investment protection and a simpler, more agile, and cost-effective way to deploy virtualized computing infrastructure.

Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is becoming a popular architecture choice, particularly for businesses consolidating infrastructure as part of a hybrid IT strategy to extend compute and storage resources outside the enterprise. At its current level of progress, HCI could soon become a foundation layer for the next generation of infrastructure at enterprises, midsized companies and remote deployments. Hybrid cloud is the next frontier for HCI, with most players looking to develop cloud orchestration and workload-migration capabilities to become hybrid cloud enablers for enterprises and service providers.
Today, many organizations still have questions and uncertainty about HCI:
What are the most effective uses of HCI today and in the future?
Who benefits from HCI, and who doesn’t?
What enterprise infrastructure challenges could be solved with HCI?
This report will provide data and analysis to provide perspective on how the HCI market could be evolving, and to better understand
